dumping master file: tmp-xxx: open: permission denied

OK, I am getting this error "dumping master file: tmp-xxx: open: permission denied", occasionally, on both my slave DNS servers and I can't seem to fix it.

The dns slave files are being written into /var/named/etc/namedb/slave which is owned by bind

8 drwxr-xr-x  2 bind  wheel  1024 Jan 13 19:46 /var/named/etc/namedb/slave

DNS changes are getting propagated to both servers from the master, so I don't know where the permission denied is coming from. Where is this tmp file being (attempted to be) written?

And why are the slave servers "dumping master file" in the first place?
